It's a cold, cold Winter!

It's freezing cold here and has been for a few weeks now. No sign of a let up and we've had snow 3 times in Blackpool, which is practcally unheard of here because of the salt in the air from the sea. We're supposed to get more snow on Sunday so we'll see. I actually love it but I know how much of a hazzard it is for the elderly, my mum included. I've never seen her so frightened of going out! We're all looking after her by shopping for her etc.
We went to a funeral today. My sister's boyfriend's mum died just after Christmas. She was in her 80's so a good age but it's always sad when anyone passes away. A funeral really brings it home to you that it'll be your turn one day. It also made me want to plan my own to make sure they get the hymns right!
I'm just watching Celebrity Big Brother and it always amazes me to what length's people will go to, to stay in the limelight. I always think there's something sadly lacking in people who crave fame! Give me people I love and who love me and I'm totally content with my lot :)
I've decided this is the year that I get on with writing my Family History. I've done so much research ~ got back to 1668 on one branch of the tree ~ so I need to put all my info in order now or no-one will ever be able to make sense of it lol.
Tried speaking to my little friend Linda in Oz tonight but couldn't get connected on Skype :(
Will try again tomorrow.
Night all xx

Snow!

We got snow at last! Not very much where I live but we went to our favourite park and there was plenty there. We took our little God daughter and great niece Ermelinda, and our daughter Lucia came too. We had a fab time and I took plenty of pics as usual lol. I made a tag out of one of Ermelinda's photo's with her little snowman. He looks a bit of a grumpy snowman lol. The snow will soon be gone but the photo's will last forever :-)

New Christmas tags

I've got a new laptop with windows 7 on it and am having problems viewing my animations.

Hopefully I'll be able to sort the problem out!

I made this tag on Friday and I love it. This snowman image is one of my favourites.

This one was made from a tut by Sweet Southern Comfort Designs
